Description
Are there any traffic calming measures being planned for this block of Flynn? If not, can you share with me what the process is for requesting measures be put in place? My husband, seven-year-old twins and I almost got hit by a car when crossing today, at a crosswalk. I’d love to lead the charge in getting additional lights and another additional crosswalk + lights so that my family and friends can have some help in slowing down the traffic in this area. A stern look only goes so far.

Very sorry to hear about your near miss this morning, OP!
It generally seems safer to cross here vs at Pine/Flynn and I use this crossing with my own kids often, thank you for adding it a few years ago.
I cross here very often around 5:30pm, which for much of the school year is around dusk. I would very much appreciate the flashing warning.

Thank you for inquiring about traffic calming. We have requested traffic and crash data to help us determine the best options moving forward. For an overview of the process, please visit https://www.burlingtonvt.gov/dpw/TrafficCalming
We'll follow up with more information once we've completed our review of traffic and crash data, which will occur during this coming winter. The traffic calming program is very popular and there is a queue of streets ahead of this request, but we will use the winter months to develop any improvement plans for the coming year.
